WELCOME TO DIABETIC ENJOYING FOOD

I have chosen this name for this blog because it truly states my story. I am a type II diabetic who most certainly enjoys food. When I was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, my blood sugar level was over 400. With some oral medications, a lot of research and some trial and error, I have found that unlike my ancestors I truly can continue to enjoy food. I hope this blog will help you to also enjoy food and be healthy. Some recipes are my originals and some I have collected. Everyone reacts different to various foods. Check your blood sugar readings so you will know whether or not a recipe works for you! And feel free to take a recipe and adjust it to suit your needs.

1/3 cup cubed cooked potato

2 slices turkey bacon, diced

1 tsp olive oil

In an 8-inch nonstick skillet, over medium heat, saute bell pepper, potato, bacon, oregano in olive oil until tender. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

In the same skillet, over medium heat, melt butter. Pour Egg Beaters into skillet. Cook, lifting edges to allow uncooked portion to flow underneath. When almost set, spoon the veggie mixture over half the egg. Fold other half over the veggies and slide onto a serving plate. Garnish with the oregano sprig, if using.
